what is the heaviest bow you have ever pulled?
Badger:
I have tried those heavy bows and always end up hurting the next day. I hear there is tecnique but when I draw one all I feel is a lack of strength! Steve
Justin Snyder:
I have pulled 90#, and could probably manage more. But I make all my bows at about 60# because I think it is silly to build anything heavier than that. If you are building warbows, its a little different. I have considered building a gator bow that would be heavier. I have also considered building one a little heavier to hunt Cape Buffalo. ;D Justin
medicinewheel:
i shot a 100" hornbow one afternoon last fall for like 30, 40 arrows. my normal draw weight is 60+ pounds.

Kegan:
At 15 I manage to get back about 85#. The bow was a little funny (it was made with two smaller bows, a 55# and a 30# bound together), so I don't know how I would do on a real 85# :o!
mullet:
I pulled an 85#wheely bow to full draw then something popped in my shoulder.It never has been the same.
Justin,you don't need a heavy bow for gators.A hammer works just fine ;)
